Every building has its own fire safety challenges — from design intent and occupancy patterns to structural layout and operational risks. At Assured Fire Safety Consultancy, we create bespoke Fire Strategy Plans that integrate design, engineering, and management principles to achieve full compliance and lasting safety.
Our plans are prepared in line with Approved Document B (ADB), BS 9999, and where required, BS 7974 performance-based design principles, ensuring that your building is safe, compliant, and future-ready.
A Fire Strategy Plan forms the foundation of your building’s fire safety framework. It defines how fire protection measures work together — from passive systems like compartmentation and structure, to active systems such as detection, suppression, and evacuation.
A strong Fire Strategy Plan is vital for ensuring your building’s safety and compliance. It helps you:
Meet the Fire Safety Order 2005, Building Regulations, and relevant British Standards.
Embed fire safety principles early and coordinate with your design and construction teams.
Identify weaknesses in fire protection or management before they cause issues.
Support safe and efficient evacuation for all users.
Provide clear, auditable evidence for insurers and authorities.
We apply a structured, evidence-based methodology to deliver technically robust and defensible fire strategy documents.
We define your fire safety objectives and project scope.
Review plans and inspect existing fire safety measures.
Design a compliant strategy using BS 9999 and BS 7974 principles.
Align fire safety design with your project team and Building Control.
Deliver a clear Fire Strategy Report with practical guidance.
Provide ongoing advice and updates to maintain compliance.
We bridge the gap between regulatory compliance and practical implementation—providing actionable, defensible evidence for auditors, insurers, and enforcing authorities.
Our fire engineers and consultants apply advanced design methodologies in accordance with BS 9999 and BS 7974.
Strategies aligned with Approved Document B, Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, and the Building Safety Act 2022.
Our strategies communicate clearly with design and construction teams, minimising confusion and rework.
Identifying potential design conflicts and management gaps early prevents costly remediation later.
Fully referenced documentation suitable for Building Control, insurers, and Responsible Persons.
Confidence that your fire precautions are proportionate, coordinated, and verifiable.
Robust quality management in everything we do
Recognised competence in life safety fire risk assessments
Unlike manufacturers or contractors, we are independent and impartial. That means our guidance is always focused on your compliance and safety — never on selling additional products.
We combine certified technical expertise with a practical, client-focused approach — delivering impartial, professional, and supportive fire safety solutions that turn complex regulations into clear, achievable compliance for every project.
A Fire Strategy Plan is a technical document that defines how a building’s fire precautions are designed, managed, and maintained. It demonstrates compliance with Building Regulations and sets out how all fire safety systems interact to achieve the required level of protection for life and property.
A strategy should be developed during the design stage of new builds or major refurbishments and reviewed:
• When the building layout or use changes.
• When new legislation or standards come into effect.
• Following significant refurbishment, fire incidents, or occupancy changes.
All buildings benefit from a Fire Strategy, but they are essential for:
• Complex or high-risk premises (hospitals, high-rise, assembly buildings, industrial sites).
• Mixed-use or phased developments requiring coordinated evacuation strategies.
• Conversions and refurbishments where compliance routes under Approved Document B may be ambiguous.
The Fire Strategy provides the evidence base for compliance with Part B of the Building Regulations, showing that the design satisfies fire resistance, means of escape, and firefighting access provisions. It simplifies Building Control submissions and prevents costly design revisions later.
Yes. Where prescriptive guidance is not suitable, our consultants develop BS 7974-compliant fire engineering strategies, including smoke modelling, evacuation analysis, and risk-based justification for alternative solutions.
Protect your property and ensure compliance with a technically robust Fire Strategy Plan.
